Referring to the border standoff with China in eastern Ladakh, IAF chief RKS Bhadauria on Monday assured air force has been deployed ‘strongly & firmly to handle any contingency’. Addressing a press conference ahead of Air Force Day on October 8, Bhadauria said Chinese air power can't get the better of India's capabilities but at the same time added that there is no question of underestimating the adversary. He also added that the IAF is prepared to deal with a two-front war along the northern and western borders if such a scenario arises. India and China are locked in a five-month-long bitter border standoff. Though both sides have held a series of diplomatic and military talks to resolve the row, no breakthrough has been achieved.
